A member asked:
After mcl surgery , can i sprain my lcl by putting a lot of weight after i can start walking?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: The lcl would be strained by putting an abnormal force against the medial part of the knee. This is unlikely to happen while walking. It is always a good idea, especially if you are uneasy, to have a brief course of physical therapy after surgery to help build up the surrounding and core musculature.
